Dr. Steven Pawley describes the ways that LiDAR has helped some of the challenges previously encountered in data collection for the surficial geology mapping program. Much of the north has been mapped already, with more planned through 2015. LiDAR is able to provide a lot of detail that isn't always detected using other methods.

The TNOGeological Survey of the Netherlands is the Netherlands’ central geoscientific information and research center. With a new role as the national data repository for the Netherlands, the conduit through which all geological information is passed for business and research, it’s unique comprehensive mapping of the entire Netherlands in 3D, and it’s role in supporting business in finding and managing Hydrocarbon drilling, the TNO Geological Survey of the Netherlands is a leading example of how effective and essential the role of a geological survey is for any region.

This video was collected during USGS aerial surveys aboard an airplane for field activity 97ACH02.
The U.S.Geological Survey (USGS), as part of the National Assessment of CoastalChange Hazards project, conducts baseline and storm-response photography missions to document and understand the changes in vulnerability of the Nation's coasts to extreme storms. On September 28, 1997, the USGS conducted an oblique aerial photographic survey along the east coast, at an altitude of 500 feet (ft) and approximately 1,200 ft offshore. This mission was conducted to collect data for assessing incremental changes in the beach and nearshore area since the last survey, and the data can be used in the assessment of future coastal change.
Note: Location data for this imagery was generated using optical character recognition software developed through USGS to "read" the navigation imprinted on the video.

Leica Mobile Mapping Building and Construction Documentation

Backpack mapping systems are ideal for documenting existing buildings and construction sites. By combining cameras synchronized with LiDAR profilers, backpack mappers capture an existing facility or building construction site for full lifecycle BIM management and documentation as quickly as you can walk, whether you’re in hallways or stairways, inside or outside. Data capture is simple without the need for total station support or survey control due to the GPS and other high accuracy navigation sensors running inside and on the backpack. The resulting 2D and 3D floor plans, elevations, and fly-throughs provide accurate documentation that can be used by all stakeholders to support project success.
For one-on-one consulting, please stop by the Leica booth at AU2016 in Las Vegas. I’ll be the guy most likely walking around with a funny looking backpack.
